FIL: Ang bayad para sa pagsakay sa isang pampublikong sasakyan tulad ng dyip, bus, o tren.
EN: fare (for transportation)
The daily sacrifice you offer to the gods of commute. It's the reason your 100-peso bill magically turns into loose change. "Manong, bayad po!" is the sacred chant to hand this over. In modern times, it's the load in your Beep card or the amount you pray is "sakto lang" for your Grab ride.
From `paN-` + `pasahe`. `Pasahe` is from Spanish 'pasaje', meaning passage or fare. The `paN-` prefix (`pam-` before 'p') is used to form nouns indicating payment for something.
ROOT MEANING: fare
Specifically refers to payment for a ride or passage.
